Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order reduces the size of the Potato Marketing Board, alters the boundaries of its electoral districts and lengthens the terms of office of elected Board Members. The Joint Consultative Committee is reconstituted under an Independent Chairman so as to increase the involvement of consumer and other non-producer interests in market management decisions and other matters referred to it. Certain Committees and obsolete powers of the Board are abolished. Provision is made for the Board to charge VAT on producers' contributions. The deposit paid by candidates standing for election to the Board is increased and the qualification required of candidates and members of the Board is amended to reflect changes in the statutory definition of insolvency. Other minor and consequential amendments to the Potato Marketing Scheme 1955 are made.
